Among the 18 Series A rounds shown, the largest disclosed amount is Spyke Games at $50M (2024-05-02), followed by two other high marks: Dream Games at $50M (2021-02-17) and Grand Games at $30M (2025-01-09). Most other disclosed rounds cluster below $25M, making the $50M tier a clear outlier relative to the rest of the disclosed amounts; the undisclosed entries (Doktar Technologies on 2023-10-24, RODIN on 2023-05-26, Octovan on 2023-04-01) sit outside those comparisons.
The geography is tightly Istanbul-weighted: 14 of 18 entries are in Istanbul (including Kagithane, Sisli, and Denizli neighborhoods/cities listed under Turkey), with only Ankara-based firms (Onlayer; TeklifimGelsin; Servislet) breaking that pattern and one entry outside Istanbul (Tiplay studio in Denizli). Temporally, the list spans 2021-02-17 (Dream Games) through the most recent 2026-06-22 (Wellbees), with a dense midstream cluster in 2024–2025 across multiple sectors (notably Gaming and Apps).

Frequently asked
What stands out on deal size for these disclosed Series A rounds in Turkey, and how does it compare to the rest?
The highest disclosed amount is $50M, appearing twice: Spyke Games on 2024-05-02 and Dream Games on 2021-02-17. The next-largest disclosed round is $30M (Grand Games on 2025-01-09), while many other disclosed entries fall at $22M (Getmobil, 2025-12-23) or below ($8M for Onlayer on 2025-11-19; $4M for Wellbees on 2026-06-22 and TeklifimGelsin on 2025-11-06).
Are there date clusters where multiple Series A rounds closed close together?
Yes. Several rounds land in 2025 alone—Grand Games ($30M) on 2025-01-09, Getmobil ($22M) on 2025-12-23, and Onlayer ($8M) plus TeklifimGelsin ($4M) in November 2025—indicating repeated funding activity across that year rather than a single spike. A second visible concentration occurs in 2024: Spyke Games ($50M, 2024-05-02), Agave Games ($18M, 2024-12-17), and the Apps/Gaming set spanning much of 2024.
Is Istanbul over-represented versus other Turkish cities in this Series A slice?
Istanbul dominates: 14 of 18 entries are listed as Istanbul (including neighborhood-style entries like Sisli for Getmobil on 2025-12-23 and Spyke Games on 2024-05-02). Ankara appears 3 times—Onlayer (2025-11-19, $8M), TeklifimGelsin (2025-11-06, $4M), and Servislet (2021-12-01, $12M)—while Denizli appears once (Tiplay studio on 2021-12-06, $500K).
Which sectors show up repeatedly in this list, and do they skew toward higher or lower disclosed amounts?
Gaming and Apps are the most repeated: Gaming appears for Bigger Games ($25M, 2025-06-16), Spyke Games ($50M, 2024-05-02), and Dream Games ($50M, 2021-02-17); Apps appears for Grand Games ($30M, 2025-01-09), Agave Games ($18M, 2024-12-17), and then Bigger Games (Gaming) plus one more Apps-labeled company (Grand Games/Agave Games). By contrast, FinTech/Finance/AI+Analytics shows up once (Onlayer, $8M on 2025-11-19), while several other sectors appear only once.
Are there outliers in the dataset besides the $50M tier, including undisclosed rounds?
Aside from the $50M size outlier, several companies have undisclosed amounts (Doktar Technologies on 2023-10-24; RODIN on 2023-05-26; Octovan on 2023-04-01), which prevents direct size comparisons for those deals. On the low end of disclosed amounts, Eyurtlar lists $100K on 2021-03-17, well below the other disclosed figures such as $500K (Tiplay studio on 2021-12-06) and $1M (Bilet.com on 2022-09-13).
Which entries fall at the temporal edges of this shown window, and what does that imply for recency?
The most recent round date in the 18-row window is 2026-06-22 with Wellbees at $4M, while the oldest is 2021-02-17 with Dream Games at $50M. That four-to-five-year span is notable because it combines both very large historical disclosed rounds (the $50M tier in 2021) and the newest entries still clustering in the mid-to-lower disclosed range (e.g., $4M for Wellbees on 2026-06-22).
